Interesting, very good catch, thanks.

I currently have 68 fpweb processing tables at Aljex and a dozens more at 
photobuff and other clients that all use the lookup name "user" but, of 
course I don't make syntax errors very often :).  When a new fpweb 
application is required I just copy an existing table to a new one and then 
make the required changes/additions.  I guess I will change the lookup name 
to "usr" to avoid any possibility of it happening on any new tables I 
create.

(I just tried making the same mistake on the same line of code but in a 
different version of the table and it _did_ fail the syntax check.  Like I 
said - weird.)

Thanks again.
